No, they can't. It's needed in the body sort of like water is needed. If a person didn't have any sodium at all, he or she would eventually pass out. Sodium is essential to the balance of the body's fluids. It is an electrolyte. Sodium in body fluids is an ion that conducts electricity.

Salt contains two minerals, sodium and chloride. Sodium is the important one; every cell contains sodium, as do all body fluids. We couldn't live without it.

Yes. However, in the US diet, there is currently an overabundance of sodium (in the form of excess salt in too many products, especially processed foods).
